They plan to do all of these on NT servers (even DNS -- bleh!). I tried to explain that some flavour of UNIX would be a much better choice, but they think that UNIX is a dead thing... I'm looking for benchmarks and other information (hard numbers, etc) that I could present to them telling why it would be better for them to choose FreeBSD (or even BSDI... hell, even Solaris is better than NT :) instead. I don't think that the staff should have much of a problem with FreeBSD, because I will set this stuff up myself initially (even if they run NT), and their webmaster knows enough about UNIX to get by after this. Thanks, Rob -- Rob Misiak - rob@arpa.com - www.arpa.com/~rob/ FF F9 39 44 3E 95 DD 1A 8E BF B1 44 21 3C 1B 8F
